    Pap, I think you are so right- kids these days don't respect anything or anybody, including themselves if the truth be known...
    I live above a shopping precinct, and they flock here, every night, shouting, drinking, swearing, dropping litter and yelling abuse if I have to pass them to go for a run.
    Having to put up with it at your own window is not on- let's hope the nets do the trick.
  • Awww no lucky, not nice is it. Kids do my head in around here shame I have to put up with it :rolleyes: The nets seem to be working though ;) my rooms darker though but I can live with that :D

    Not much happening here, nsd's are going well I even found 55p in work today/yesterday so will put 5p in my savings jar and the 50p will float till thursday for a treat in work. Savings standing orders have just came out, so the totals have gone up :T Not feeling too well at the moment, ate a dodgy sandwich today in work so not all to well. Going to look at my cv tonight/tom night and try and find a new job :beer:

    Hope you feel better soon xx
  • Thanks babes, not going oh to well at the moment but I can but try. If I keep my eyes open somethings bound to come up. Fingers crossed. Good luck on your seach too :A

    Well getting better as the day goes on so will be back to work tommorow. I am only in wed and thurs now anyways as I have a holiday booked for friday then my normal weekend off :D

    Playing with my budgets and stuff ~

    Cancalled my weight loss program thing, I feel so disheartened about my weight, I think I am just going to plod along and sort my head out before my body. At the end of the day I am not going to be no size 10 anyways so kinda taking a back seat on that. This frees up £9.50 this month and so on so thats all good.

    So not including that £9.50 I have £48.76 left in my bank and £7 in my purse :T going so well considering I only have two days in work this week, all next week then I have a week off before pay day the following thurs ~ I am so going to do this :j The no craft is going so well. I havent brought anything since the 16th (on the 15th I spent my last £30) now thats a huge step for me as I am usually buying, buying, buying all month, even if it is just £5 here £15 there it soon mounts up :eek: I have also completed 8 cards to date and thats with all the stuff I have here. I am planning on breaking 50 cards before I buy anything new (ie papers/embellies). It will be hard but I am determind to get this pile down before I start buying more. It just goes to prove though you dont always need the latest stuff :rolleyes: you can make very nice cards out of things you already have.

    I have also been playing with standing orders to my savings accounts. So I have upped them to £55.00 in the locked account and £35.00 into my ISA. Bearing in mind my locked saver matures in sep and that will all be dumped in my ISA :D This brings my standard savings to £90 from £50 a month. However I am still planning on putting my usuall £100 into savings on pay day.

    So planned outgoings next month (including all my savings and extra £100) is £471. That should leave £229.00 :D and if this really short month works I am planning on putting another £100.00 into savings meaning my spends for May should be £129.00 I think thats doable :D

    *sorry for my long mutterings*
